There were stalls of non-vegetarian dishes. Bajrang Dal is not against any entertainment in open premises but we will not tolerate tampering with the culture of the city.
Discussion of workers with Additional DCP VHP and Bajrang Dal activists tried to enter Diljit's concert venue. On this Amarendra Singh Additional DCP (Zone-2) stopped him. There was an argument between the two regarding this matter. Meanwhile, advocates Anil Naidu and Dilip Singh Pawar of the legal team accompanying the Bajrang Dal informed them of the rules and asked us to go inside and investigate.

Then said that an advocate should be let go. In this case, Bajrang Dal and lawyers say that five advocates and one officer should be let go.
The workers will remain there till the end of the show Yash Bachani (Divisional Minister VHP Bajrang Dal Indore) said that Bajrang Dal workers will now stay near the venue till the end of the show. Until people reach home. During this period, if any incident like dispute, extortion, drugs happens, the workers will respond accordingly. If the police-administration does not take action, the Bajrang Dal will take action on its own. Our protest is not about the event but about the alcohol, meat and obscenity here which we will not tolerate.
